BRAISED BRISKET WITH MUSHROOMS (AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN)



Braised Brisket With Mushrooms (America's Test Kitchen) image

Lovely flavor! Cut the brisket in half and cool it in the braising liquid to let it soak up liquid lost during cooking. Dried porcini boosts the mushroom flavor, and start with whole white mushrooms, not sliced, which lose all texture during cooking. Instructions are included for making up to 3 days ahead. Based on the delicious recipe by America's Test Kitchen. (Their site doesn't post nutritional info!)

Time 6h50m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 -5 lbs beef brisket, fat trimmed to 1/4 inch (use a flat-cut brisket)
salt and pepper
1/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, rinsed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb white mushroom, quartered
2 onions, chopped
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 cup dry red wine
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and heat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Pat brisket dry, prick all over fatty side with fork, and cut into 2 roasts (important for liquid reabsorption later). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Use 2 skillets to brown both roasts at once. Heat oil in 12-inch skillets over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown roasts on both sides (10-14 minutes). Transfer fat side up to a single 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, microwave 3/4 cup water and porcini in covered bowl until steaming (1 minute). Let sit until softened (5 minutes). Drain porcini through strainer lined with coffee filter, reserve liquid, and mince and reserve porcini.
  • Scrape browned bits from roasts into single skillet, and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat. Add mushrooms and ¼ teaspoon salt and cook medium-high until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are golden brown (8 minutes).
  • Add onions and sugar, and cook until browned (8-10 minutes).
  • Add flour, garlic, and thyme, and cook until golden and fragrant (1 to 2 minutes).
  • Slowly whisk in broth, wine, ½ cup reserved porcini liquid, reserved porcini, and bay leaves, scraping up any browned bits, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes.
  • Pour sauce over roasts and cover dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake until tender and fork inserted into meat meets no resistance, 4½ to 5 hours.
  • Let brisket cool in dish at room temperature, uncovered, for 1 hour, flipping halfway through cooling. Discard bay leaves. (Cooled brisket can be refrigerated in sauce for 2 days; reheat gently, covered, in 300-degree oven for 1 hour before proceeding with next step.).
  • Transfer roasts to carving board. Strain sauce through fine-mesh strainer into fat separator; reserve mushrooms. Let liquid settle, then pour into bowl. Stir vinegar into sauce and microwave until warm, 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Slice roasts against grain into ¼-inch slices and return to dish with mushrooms. Pour 1½ cups sauce over meat. Serve with remaining sauce.
  • (Refrigerate sliced brisket in sauce for up to 3 days; reheat meat in sauce.).

BRAISED BRISKET WITH MUSHROOM ONION GRAVY



Braised Brisket With Mushroom Onion Gravy image

Another I haven't tried, sounds tempting though. Sounds like something I might try this Fall when the weather cools and I am tired of brisket on the smoker.

Categories     Turkey Gravy

Time 4h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
4 cups water
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 cups dry red wine
3 lbs beef brisket, trimmed
salt and pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Place the mushrooms in a small bowl. Bring 1 cup of the water to a boil. Pour over the mushrooms. Let stand for 30 minutes to soften.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the soaking liquid, squeezing as much liquid as possible back into the bowl. Coarsely chop the mushrooms.
  • Strain the soaking liquid through a coffee filter or 2 layers of cheesecloth. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for about 10 minutes, until translucent.
  • Reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the onions begin to brown, stirring from time to time.
  • Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes, until the onions turn a deep golden brown.
  • Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits in the pot. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same Dutch oven over high heat. Season the brisket with salt and pepper. Brown well on all sides. Transfer the meat to a platter.
  • Add the mushroom-soaking liquid to the Dutch oven and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits.
  • Return the brisket to the pot, along with the onion-wine mixture, the remaining 3 cups water, the mushrooms, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil.
  • Tightly cover the pan. Place in the oven and cook for about 3 hours, until the brisket is very tender.
  • Transfer the meat to a platter and tent with foil.
  • Remove the bay leaves from the cooking liquid. Working in batches, puree the cooking liquid in a processor until smooth. Transfer to a large saucepan. Adjust seasoning and rewarm, if necessary.
  • Cut the brisket across the grain into thin slices. Arrange on a platter. Spoon the sauce over the meat.

BRAISED BEEF BRISKET WITH ONIONS, MUSHROOMS, AND BALSAMIC



Braised Beef Brisket with Onions, Mushrooms, and Balsamic image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 3h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 (5-pound) beef brisket
Kosher salt
1/4 pound slab bacon, skin removed and reserved, bacon cut into lardons
3 large onions, thinly sliced
3 celery ribs, thinly sliced on the bias
4 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 pound cremini mushrooms, stemmed and finely sliced
2 cups balsamic vinegar
3 to 4 cups chicken stock
4 bay leaves
1 fresh thyme bundle
1 bunch finely chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Coat a large roasting pan with olive oil and bring to a high heat. Season the brisket generously with salt. Add the brisket to the pan and brown well on both sides. Remove the brisket from the pan and reserve.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Lower the heat to medium, ditch the excess oil, and add the bacon and reserved skin to the pan with a little more oil. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and has let out a lot of fat. Add the onions and celery. Season with salt and cook until they are very soft and aromatic, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms and cook until they are soft and wilted. Add the balsamic vinegar and reduce it by half. Taste it - it will be very vinegary, but that's ok, don't worry. Season with salt, if needed. Lay the brisket on top of the veggie mix and add the chicken stock to the pan until it just covers the brisket. Add the bay leaves and thyme.
  • Cover the pan with foil and roast in the oven. Roast for 1 hour, check the brisket, and turn it over. Add more stock if the liquid level has reduced. Cover the pan again and return it to the oven for another hour. Remove the foil and roast for 30 minutes more.
  • Remove the roasting pan from the oven, transfer the brisket to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid. If the vegetables are swimming in liquid, reduce the liquid on the stovetop over medium-high heat. You want the sauce to be soupy. Taste the liquid and re-season if needed. Slice the brisket against the grain on the bias. Serve topped with the onion-mushroom mixture and sprinkle with chopped chives.

Braised Brisket and Creamy Wild Mushrooms image

This is also from AOL Food and Home's collection of videos starring Tyler Florence. Am posting this before we serve it at our Chanukah Dinner on the 22nd of December; but we will be using button mushrooms, personal preference. This too, is per request. Thank you guys, here you are.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 4h50m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

4 large garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
kosher salt, for seasoning
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, needles stripped from the stem and chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 (4 lb) beef brisket, first-cut
fresh ground black pepper
4 large carrots, cut in 3-inch chunks
3 celery ribs, cut in 3-inch chunks
3 large onions, halved
2 cups dry red wine
1 (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes, hand-crushed
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 bunch fresh thyme
3 bay leaves
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 lb mixed wild mushroom, quartered (oyster, portabello, crimini, & shitake)
3 garlic cloves
3 tablespoons horseradish
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup beef consomme or 1 cup beef bouillon
4 sprigs fresh thyme
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • PREPARE THE ROAST:.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • On a cutting board, mash the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt together with the flat side of a knife into a paste form. Add the rosemary and continue to mash until incorporated.
  • Put the garlic-rosemary paste in a small bowl and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil; stir to combine.
  • Season both sides of the brisket with a fair amount of kosher salt and ground black pepper.
  • Dust brisket generously with flour. Place a large roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high flame and coat with the remaining olive oil. Put the brisket in the roasting pan and sear to form a nice brown crust on both sides.
  • Lay the vegetables all around the brisket and pour the rosemary paste over the whole thing. Add the wine and tomatoes; the parsley, thyme and bay leaves.
  • Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and transfer to the oven.
  • Bake for about 3 to 4 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices until the beef is fork tender.
  • Remove the brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Strain the stock and spoon out the excess fat.
  • PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS:.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the mushrooms. Heat up a large sauté pan and approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chopped garlic, the mushrooms and thyme.
  • Cook until a nice light brown color develops then add brisket stock and continue to simmer and reduce -- mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  • When thickened, finish with the horseradish, sour cream and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • To serve, slice the brisket across the grain (the muscle lines) at a slight diagonal and top with the creamy wild mushrooms.
  • SUGGESTIONS:.
  • As this is being made for Chanukah, we are serving it with these Baked Latkes by Chia Recipe #48494 with scallion-flavored sour cream and applesauce. Also, store-bought mixed Rugelah - too many to bake here.(Guests have a habit of tucking these tasty delicious tidbits into their pockets or purses, LOL!).
  • These are some suggestions for side sides, haven't tried all of the recipes, am tossing out ideas!
  • Chef Rebeka's Recipe #180071 for Nutty Basmati Rice with Almonds.
  • The Dancing Cook's Recipe #64252 Browned Buttered Egg Noodles (with a handful of parsley).
  • Derf's Recipe #24584 Apricot Carrots.
